Abstract
The article deals with the issues of replenishment of the lexical system of the English language and the ways of working with neologisms during the lessons with bachelor students, future teachers of foreign languages. The authors note that the language is a dynamic constantly developing system. From year to year the number of neologisms in the spheres of technology, the Internet, medicine, socio-political phenomena, pop culture, sport and business is increasing. The existing definitions of neologisms and a number of their classification are considered. The importance of studying English neologisms by pedagogical university students is outlined, as the knowledge expands and deepens language and pedagogical competence, increases the motivation to study theoretical language subjects, makes the speech more authentic. The criteria for the selection of neologisms for expanding the students’ vocabulary are considered in detail. Methodological principles of selecting neologisms for students are described. Training and speech exercises used during the warm-up during the lessons of English are offered. Training exercises help to firstly memorize and provide the automatic use of new words. They include substitution, filling in the gaps, association chains. Speech exercises are aimed at developing speaking skills in the forms of monologue and dialogue, as well as group discussion. Neologisms are a speech material for creative, professionally-oriented and communicative tasks. Such ways of working with neologisms allow the teacher to increase the students’ linguistic motivation and replenish their vocabulary with relevant new lexical units.
